Hi Everyone!! Happy Friday!! It's a dreary and cold Friday here today but that's not stopping me from rocking a fun all Zoya mani. Today at work it's our Cinco de Mayo food day celebration. Everyone is bringing in food for a day long feast. I'm bringing in black popcorn! Ooooomg I just discovered it and am in love with it. Several of my coworkers agreed with me that it's the best popcorn in the entire universe so they told me to pop up a bunch and bring it in. 5 am this morning and the house smells like popcorn lol!
I wanted to do something fun and festive for today so I have a Mexicany feely type thing going on. I did some fun gradients with Zoya Thandie, Yana, Lara and Robyn
It's too bad it's only 40 out and not the 82 we had on Wednesday!
I stamped using quite a few plates Mash-30, SH13, BM204 and Cheeky XL C
In the process of doing this mani I came up with a great idea for Cinco de Mayo nails too! Can't wait to see if they turn out as I envision.
Thanks for stopping by!! I hope you all have a fantastic day!!
Hi Everyone!! I had really had time trying to figure out what mani to do for today. Last night I was toying with a few color combinations ideas. I knew I wanted to do a half moon mani but couldn't decide on Muse and DV8, Casino Royale and Purple Illusion or Vampire State Building and Ozotic 621. I decided to go with Muse, For Audrey and DV8. It turned out really great even if the DV8 isn't super holo
I love doing these gradient half moon mani's!
And while this looks pretty awesome all on it's own
You know I had to stamp a little something on here!
Yep I did a couple of rainbow fish using China Glaze It's My Turn, DV8 and 2Nite
I used the fish image from SH19 and even did the reverse image stamping so I could get some kissing fish!
I'll tell you this though, one little accent nail with Illamasqua Muse on it, is really not good enough for me. I have been wanting this FOREVER and was lucky enough to have my friend Gina snag it for me. Muse will definitely be in my future!
Thanks for stopping by! I hope you all have a fantastic day!
Hi Everyone! Welcome to winter storm Nemo! Can you believe they are naming our winter storms now? We're expected to have snow all day. ALL DAY! And the real horror I'm facing is we are out of both eggs and bread here so we won't be able to make French Toast is this storm. I say this because whenever there's a smidge of snow on the ground people rush out to buy milk, eggs and bread LOL! I'll report in tomorrow and let you know how bad it really was.
I'm featuring another Valentine's Day mani today. I chose to wear one of my favorite reds, Butter London's Knees Up. My fab friend Silver, of the Silverinator.com told me I HAD to have it and man was she ever right, so whenever I wear it I always think of her
Knees Up is a gorgeous red, it's absolutely flawless
I add some silver swirls and gold lips and and hearts for a quick and easy Valentine's Day mani
The swirls are from BM224, the scrolls are from SH04, and the lips and heart are from BM02 and BM202
This one was so much easier than yesterday's and it's cuter if you ask me!
If any of you are in Nemo's path--stay safe, drive safe, and keep bundled up!
Thanks for stopping by!! I hope you all have a fantastic day!
Hi Everyone! Oh my lord I have had a day! I got up super early to work on my AIS challenge mani for today and here it is 2pm and I'm finally getting it blogged! Today's challenge theme is stamping over a blue base and I really wanted to use some untrieds. I hauled out China Glaze Secret Periwinkle and the Essence Blue Magnetic I have and discovered two things. While they look like they'll match up in the bottles once on the nail they did not AND seche vite ruined the magnetic! It completely erased the lines the magnet made.
I was so hacked off!
I decided to start again and use China Glaze Sea Spray with it. I also changed around my magnet lines and FINALLY I have something I like!
I did a half moon mani for this magnetic and I like it. The Blue Essence is gorgeous!
I even stamped with it for my accent nail! Magnetic polishes stamp great!
I used a few plates for the snowflakes. The accent nail is BM323, index is
RA-119, swear and pinkie is BM14, and the thumb is SH17
I really love the snowflakes on the thumb and index and wish there were plates with those snowflakes only smaller--if you know of one let me know!
All in all I'm really happy with how this turned out EVEN if it took forever!
Now I just have to hope we don't see snow in Wisconsin anytime soon!
Thanks for stopping by!!! I hope you all are having a great weekend!
Dear Green Bay Packers where the H were you today????? SERIOUSLY! Hi Readers as you can see my heart is broken over the devastating loss to the Giants yesterday!! I mean Eli Manning and The Giants are you kidding me???! UG!
I started off with a great mani in my opinion, a nice forest green and a metallic yellow but I guess me doing my part with an incredible mani wasn't enough for them.
Here it is readers you be the judge!
Here it is with flash
Close up!
To get this look I painted my nails with Revlon Emerald City which is a matte but is such a rich green when you put a topcoat on it! I stamped with Shany plate SH22 using Kleancolor Metallic Yellow and man it's a simple yet pretty mani.
Even though the Packers lost the game yesterday they had a fantastic season! Records were broken this year. Donald Driver (my favorite Packer) became the all time receiver for the Packers when he surpassed James Lofton's career yards of 9,656. Also this year Aaron Rogers became the first quarterback in NFL history to have 400 yards passing, 4 passing touchdowns and 2 rushing touchdowns in one game which was against the Broncos on October 2nd. All that talk of Brett Favre died down rather quickly when the very humble Aaron Rogers stepped in to lead the team. All in all it was a fantastic season and I look forward to next year!
How about you readers? Are you football fans? Who's your team? Did you play fantasy football this year? I did and I had a blast and can't wait til next year!!
Thanks for stopping by! I hope you all have a fantastic day!
